Sitting here around my kitchen table with Melissa and Thomas. We all have our laptops and are supposedly writing our lab reports. Well, they are at the moment I just thought that the situation was too funny not to write about. They are sipping on the Amarula that my flat mate gave to me for my birthday. It is some kind of creamy alcoholic drink that has some relationship to elephants. At least there is a story about elephants eating the fruit on the back of the bottle. Alcohol is still highly unattractive to me since my birthday so I am drinking tea. We each have a different color of Nalgene bottle (a very American item along with North Face backpacks). We each have a stuffed animal on our laps. I have Scrum the blue dinosaur, Thomas has a kiwi and Melissa has a lamb (both gifts from Karl and Tim for my birthday). Stuffed animals are very comforting. I highly recommend them as study aids. We are listening to Thomas’s Mississippi music. It is great fun. This is why I procrastinate— so I don’t have to suffer alone. I have said nothing coherent or intelligent yet in my lab report. I just keep typing because everyone else is working. I am really not doing very well in my biology class. Maybe because I don’t do the readings. Oh well.
I am tired right now. My eyes are blurring. I want to sleep but I don’t want to do this tomorrow. It is already 11:40. Bah. I want to sleep and have fun and play. My flat mate is out at the Foundry. She is having fun. Why not me??? Why not??? I missed touch rugby games and the Princess Bride on GIANT big screen in the common room for this. Stupid lab.
